A62880	A faithful vvarning to all backsliders, who hold the truth in vnrighteousness, for to return to the Lord and cleave to the light which leadeth out of darkness	Tompkins, Anthony, d. 1699.	1668 (1668)	Wing T1829; ESTC R10283	9,718	11

a_o faithful_a warn_v to_o all_o backslider_n who_o hold_v the_o truth_n in_o vnrighteousness_n for_o to_o return_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o cleave_v to_o the_o light_n which_o lead_v out_o of_o darkness_n it_o be_v now_o in_o my_o heart_n to_o discover_v unto_o you_o the_o manner_n of_o my_o fall_n from_o the_o truth_n notwithstanding_o i_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o lord_n love_n and_o do_v come_v in_o measure_n to_o see_v what_o be_v lay_v up_o for_o they_o that_o love_v he_o in_o his_o appearance_n wh●n_v the_o time_n of_o trial_n come_v on_o that_o the_o lord_n people_n be_v carry_v to_o prison_n the_o reason_a part_n get_v up_o in_o i_o the_o which_o the_o enemy_n soon_o join_v with_o show_v i_o the_o danger_n that_o may_v happen_v if_o i_o go_v to_o meeting_n that_o then_o i_o shall_v or_o may_v be_v put_v into_o a_o prison_n then_o as_o i_o say_v the_o reason_a part_n get_v up_o insomuch_o that_o i_o begin_v to_o take_v care_n for_o my_o wife_n and_o child_n and_o family_n consider_v the_o weak_a capacity_n of_o my_o wife_n she_o be_v altogether_o uncapable_a of_o manage_v my_o trade_n it_o must_v of_o necessity_n fail_v which_o friend_n i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o take_v notice_n this_o be_v whilst_o the_o reason_a part_n be_v get_v up_o which_o when_o that_o begin_v first_o to_o enter_v if_o i_o have_v stand_v in_o that_o which_o do_v discover_v it_o not_o to_o be_v of_o god_n my_o heart_n have_v be_v keep_v clean_o but_o join_v to_o the_o evil_a that_o cause_v the_o lord_n presence_n to_o be_v withdraw_v then_o do_v the_o devil_n transform_v himself_o into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n show_v i_o that_o friend_n do_v not_o do_v so_o well_o as_o the_o infidel_n do_v for_o they_o take_v care_n of_o their_o family_n then_o the_o thought_n of_o this_o begin_v to_o minister_v to_o i_o a_o false_a peace_n insomuch_o that_o i_o become_v one_o that_o do_v weaken_v the_o weak_a and_o to_o lay_v a_o stumbling-block_n in_o their_o way_n so_o then_o when_o i_o have_v do_v this_o yet_o have_v i_o no_o peace_n but_o be_v still_o condemn_v in_o my_o conscience_n then_o the_o transform_a angel_n have_v another_o way_n signify_v to_o i_o that_o i_o may_v be_v serviceable_a in_o my_o b●●ng_n forth_o of_o prison_n for_o i_o may_v go_v and_o serve_v the_o body_n of_o friend_n which_o do_v for_o a_o little_a while_n satisfy_v but_o yet_o the_o lord_n love_n be_v such_o that_o he_o show_v i_o that_o be_v not_o enough_o but_o have_v i_o shall_v go_v to_o the_o meeting_n and_o bear_v my_o testimony_n for_o god_n who_o cause_v the_o light_n to_o shine_v and_o have_v shine_v into_o my_o heart_n which_o give_v i_o to_o understand_v my_o duty_n towards_o god_n and_o man_n a●d_v walk_v in_o it_o and_o obey_v it_o but_o when_o i_o have_v thought_n of_o obey_v the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n then_o will_v my_o wife_n tear_n flow_v from_o her_o eye_n which_o draw_v i_o to_o be_v tender_a to_o she_o and_o not_o stand_v in_o the_o cross_n i_o come_v more_o and_o more_o to_o lose_v my_o portion_n then_o the_o devil_n draw_v i_o to_o acquaint_v myself_o with_o those_o that_o do_v also_o flee_v the_o cross_n and_o we_o begin_v to_o daub_v ourselves_o with_o untempered_a mortar_n and_o so_o grow_v light_a and_o vain_a and_o so_o come_v to_o speak_v our_o own_o word_n and_o to_o think_v our_o own_o thought_n and_o to_o do_v our_o own_o work_n and_o so_o become_v rebelious_a child_n unto_o he_o that_o be_v our_o father_n whilst_o we_o obey_v the_o light_n in_o our_o heart_n which_o show_v our_o duty_n towards_o god_n but_o we_o refuse_v to_o obey_v it_o the_o enemy_n come_v among_o we_o and_o sow_v his_o seed_n and_o so_o here_o be_v a_o ware_n in_o we_o for_o victory_n insomuch_o that_o we_o or_o i_o have_v no_o peace_n but_o continual_o fill_v with_o trouble_n at_o the_o very_a time_n when_o i_o be_v jest_v and_o jeer_v the_o light_n in_o my_o heart_n do_v condemn_v i_o and_o at_o my_o lie_v down_o or_o at_o my_o rise_n up_o i_o be_v so_o condemn_v that_o i_o have_v some_o breathe_n towards_o the_o lord_n for_o to_o desire_v forgiveness_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o cry_v unto_o the_o lord_n father_n forgive_v i_o but_o before_o the_o word_n father_n be_v utter_v the_o lord_n witness_v will_v arise_v in_o my_o heart_n and_o show_v i_o that_o i_o be_v not_o to_o call_v god_n father_n for_o i_o have_v do_v the_o will_n of_o the_o devil_n which_o cause_v i_o to_o remember_v what_o be_v say_v of_o some_o that_o be_v call_v god_n father_n and_o be_v do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o i_o be_v out_o of_o the_o redeem_a state_n as_o well_o as_o they_o but_o as_o for_o my_o deal_n among_o man_n i_o have_v very_o little_a to_o charge_v myself_o with_o but_o can_v true_o say_v as_o to_o that_o point_n i_o keep_v myself_o very_o much_o unspotted_a of_o the_o world_n and_o display_v have_v some_o respect_n for_o the_o same_o of_o the_o truth_n and_o can_v not_o endure_v to_o hear_v the_o truth_n evil_o speak_v of_o although_o i_o be_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n depart_v from_o it_o so_o by_o my_o plain_a deal_n among_o man_n i_o be_v esteem_v with_o many_o up_o and_o down_o the_o country_n my_o name_n be_v famous_a insomuch_o that_o my_o trade_n do_v much_o increase_n so_o that_o i_o come_v to_o be_v very_o much_o hurry_v in_o the_o world_n which_o do_v choke_v the_o seed_n more_o and_o more_o and_o so_o become_v worse_a and_o worse_o so_o the_o god_n of_o the_o world_n blind_v the_o mind_n that_o when_o i_o will_v have_v do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n something_o or_o other_o lie_v in_o the_o way_n which_o do_v hinder_v so_o death_n and_o darkness_n come_v to_o reign_v and_o to_o rule_v and_o have_v the_o pre-eminence_n insomuch_o that_o the_o light_n which_o do_v shine_v once_o in_o i_o come_v to_o be_v darken_v so_o than_o that_o wicked_a prince_n begin_v to_o reign_v over_o the_o seed_n and_o keep_v it_o in_o bondage_n which_o will_v have_v reign_v over_o the_o devil_n have_v it_o be_v obey_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v for_o i_o can_v and_o do_v witness_v it_o so_o once_o but_o by_o disobedience_n i_o become_v a_o captive_n to_o the_o devil_n to_o do_v his_o will_n in_o a_o great_a measure_n but_o yet_o have_v there_o not_o be_v a_o seed_n i_o may_v say_v i_o may_v have_v be_v as_o sodom_n or_o make_v like_a unto_o gomorrah_n but_o i_o can_v say_v i_o be_v keep_v out_o of_o the_o practice_n of_o many_o thing_n which_o at_o some_o time_n be_v almost_o or_o altogether_o conclude_v in_o my_o mind_n to_o act_v therefore_o who_o be_v like_a unto_o the_o god_n of_o abraham_n and_o the_o god_n of_o isaac_n and_o the_o god_n of_o jacob_n who_o leave_v we_o a_o seed_n or_o else_o what_o have_v become_v of_o i_o in_o this_o apostatise_a state_n when_o i_o be_v first_o convince_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o live_a way_n than_o account_v i_o all_o but_o dross_n and_o dung_n in_o comparison_n of_o christ_n the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n insomuch_o that_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o manifest_v himself_o unto_o i_o in_o his_o way_n which_o be_v by_o christ_n the_o light_n that_o light_v every_o one_o that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n so_o as_o i_o come_v to_o the_o light_n of_o jesus_n i_o come_v to_o see_v that_o i_o have_v do_v amiss_o in_o give_v money_n to_o the_o parish_n priest_n who_o doctrine_n i_o can_v not_o own_o i_o have_v be_v a_o hearer_n of_o those_o people_n call_v baptist_n before_o i_o come_v to_o hear_v truth_n declare_v by_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n edward_n borough_n at_o which_o time_n when_o i_o go_v to_o hear_v he_o i_o go_v not_o to_o hear_v the_o despise_a people_n call_v quaker_n so_o as_o to_o receive_v their_o doctrine_n but_o rather_o gaze_v at_o they_o to_o see_v their_o manner_n when_o i_o first_o come_v in_o he_o that_o go_v with_o i_o seem_v to_o be_v very_o much_o dissatisfy_v with_o what_o my_o dear_a friend_n lay_v down_o for_o which_o cause_n he_o speak_v unto_o i_o my_o answer_n be_v to_o he_o i_o have_v hear_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v truth_n at_o which_o time_n i_o come_v away_o when_o the_o meeting_n be_v part_v or_o the_o friend_n one_o from_o each_o other_o with_o joy_n which_o i_o know_v not_o how_o to_o express_v but_o come_v to_o a_o relation_n house_n i_o declare_v to_o the_o woman_n that_o i_o have_v hear_v the_o truth_n
